Hollywood actor Spike Jonze and actor Jesse Williams are helping to break down the negative taboos still surrounding marijuana. The high-profile entertainers have linked for a must-watch MedMen commercial.

Jones’ two-minute commercial is the first-ever for MedMen and stars Williams as they present the United States’ history with marijuana.

It opens on what appears to be a natural history museum diorama that depicts founding father George Washington (played by Williams) at his hemp farm, examining a specimen from his latest crop–the point being that back then, growing weed was about as eyebrow-raising as growing your own wheat or corn. The film then takes a darker turn, illustrating what the V.O. says was America’s “80 years of unjust prohibition, which hasn’t made us any safer”–with scenes of individuals getting frisked by police and harsh punishments in court.
